Levoca is a small town in the vicinity of the Tatras, known since 1249. The town has an interesting central square with a number of historical buildings, which is included in the list of UNESCO World Cultural Heritage. We stopped here at sunset and were the only tourists, the walk was very nice.

The oldest object on the square is the Church of St. James in Levoca. It is known for its wooden altar, possibly the largest in the world, measuring 6x18.5 meters.

The most beautiful building on the square is the town hall of 1550.

Here, for example, is a house from 1904. The presence of houses like this always indicates that the city was rich and played an important role. The house belonged to the Turzo family, a wealthy Hungarian metal trading dynasty.

On the other side of the square, near the police building, there is a small park, popular with parents with children.

On the hill above the city can be seen a huge church. It is the Basilica of the Virgin Mary on Mount Marianska (1906 - 1914), a popular pilgrimage site.
